Archaeologists are returning to one of Orkney’s richest and most threatened sites in a bid to learn more about a Neolithic settlement.
The settlement is at the Links of Noltland, on the island of Westray.

There’s the chance to celebrate Douglas Day with a free visit to one of their greatest castles.
That means visitors will be able to enjoy the lovely Threave Castle, on an island in the River Dee, without paying a penny on the weekend of 25 and 26 July.

Aberdour Castle and Gardens will offer free entry to children to help celebrate the local festival week. The castle already plays an active part in the annual Aberdour Festival, but this year Historic Scotland has decided to do a little bit more. So, from the 1st to the 8th of August we have waived the Â£2.10 entry price for youngsters aged five to 15.
